About Louise
Counsellor Louise Creswick is BACP registered and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes, as well as relationship and career concerns and issues linked to trauma and abuse.
Louise works in a client-centred way. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on practical next steps. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness skills when these suit the situation. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making thoughts and feelings easier to manage day to day.
Her background includes a range of therapeutic and mental health roles across different settings. That experience is used to shape what happens in sessions rather than following one fixed method. People can expect a mixture of talking, practical exercises and simple reflective work to try between meetings.
Louise also offers coaching alongside counselling. Coaching sessions focus more on goal-setting, planning and moving forward with specific tasks. Counselling sessions give more space to process emotions and past experiences, and the two can be combined where helpful.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the UK context. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and any logistical details before booking a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens carefully and follows concerns the person brings, supporting them to make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a steady, respectful place to talk through difficult things.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses simple techniques to test and change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and panic by giving clear steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to agree which methods to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as the work progresses so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, times when being on camera is not needed, or sessions that avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors commonly use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside daily life.
